Investigation of Underwater Pneumatic Launching Technology for Deep Sea Glider

水下滑翔机作为一种新型自航式海洋观测平台,因具有隐蔽性高、续航能力强、低功耗、水下工作范围大、制造成本低等特点,成为海洋环境监测、海洋资源探测、海底地貌测量及水下情报搜集等海洋科学研究与军事作战的理想工具。该文综述了水下滑翔机国内外研究概况,针对课题组所研制深海滑翔机水下布放特点,提出了一种基于高压气动控制技术的深海滑翔机水下布放模式。介绍了深海滑翔机水下气动布放系统结构组成、功能、工作原理,在此基础上,重点对深海滑翔机水下布放性能开展仿真研究,分析了其水下布放关键性能与参数变化规律。

The underwater glider is a novel autonomous ocean observation platform and a perfect vehicle,used to monitor the ocean environment,explore the ocean resource,measure the sea-floor geography,collect the underwater information,and so on,with advantages that high concealment,good capability of long-time glide,lower power consumption,large working scale,low cost of manufacture,etc.In this paper,the development and research of the underwater glider is reviewed.A new underwater launching model based on high-pressure pneumatic control is proposed to the deep sea glider which is developed by the authors＇ research group.The structural composition and working principle of the underwater pneumatic launching system for the deep sea glider is introduced.And then,the underwater launching performance of the deep sea glider is investigated with simulation method.The critical characteristics and change regulation are analyzed and discussed.
